I would rather quit streaming for good and shoot myself than allow generative AI to affect ANYONE.

I'm wholly against AI, especially generative AI given it's almost always stolen material. You can improve Twitch without AI features. Most people don't want to see it, so if it gets implemented, I'm fairly certain that a LOT of business will be lost.

And if it does get implemented, at least give the option of opting out and having the default be opt out. It's ****** to force this garbage on people if you won't listen to them otherwise.

Even if we are to ignore all of AI's various problems, such as its staggering negative impact on the environment, its theft of the work and creativity of countless real people, and its distortion of what is real and what is not, having such a feature be mandatory/on by default is only going to be bad for the platform

I am highly against ai for MANY reasons. In fact, every reason. If this goes through I am GONE.

I'm tired of ai garbage being forced shoved into anything and everything I use daily boss

I do not like the usage of generative AI. I am highly against it for moral reasons.

I also know that Twitch would lose a large amount of users if it was implemented.
But sure, go lose money on this... not like AI literally loses money for companies.

I do not consent to having my work trained by AI. I do not support AI content scraping or 'tools' of any kind, and implimenting them like this is a bizzare and frustrating choice. I'm very close to just finding a different platform that doesn't trifle with such things. Please understand already that these practices are horrendously anti environmental and detremental to neighbourhoods of thousands of people living across the US. Respectfully; STOP. DOING. THIS. ****.

I would prefer no Gen AI involvement in Any form, but at the very least, involvement should be opt out by default.

would be horrible for twitch to start training AI off of streams. i would stop using twitch.

Terrible, awful, no good idea. Do not push gen AI on your userbase.

My passion is not yours to sell to AI companies, nor to train LLMs on. I didn't agree to this when I signed up, and I won't now either. Putting any more AI features or stealing from creators' likenesses is going to drive people to competitors and put Twitch out of business.

Twitch is built off the backs of independents. From inception to modern day, the little guy has always been the backbone. All this talk of punching down against us and abusing our good-will behind our backs is breaking your very foundation.

What is the purpose of training AI for content creators anyways? It would ruin the creative space for your streamers by forcing it upon them, just like every other site that has been doing the same thing. This is not the assistance your members need or deserve and it’s disappointing that you’re wanting to forcing everyone to opt in from the start.

If you push this through I WILL start watching streams through YouTube even though I hate them arguably more. After all, streams are the only reason I’m on Twitch. Without them I simply won’t be here.

The AI bubble has already popped just take your losses and stop trying to appease the shareholders who are holding out blindly. It’s over. It’s done. AI is a profit less scam that intrudes on everyone’s lives. Nobody wants it. Companies that want it are unwanted by consumers.

You could be doing so much more to actually grow, such as optimizing your app or giving incentives to pull people away from your competitors but no all you have is an increasingly impossible partner program and a ready to jump ship user base.

Forcing AI features onto your userbase is a great way to get folks to look for alternatives.

I don't want AI as part of my stream. I don't want to watch a stream that uses AI.

Why do you people keep throwing AI at us when literally the entire country is telling you we hate AI. Are y'all stupid? I actually cannot imagine the absolute buffoonery that happens in the closed doors meeting. Absolute freaking madness. Y'all are killing yourselves and creators. AI is a sickness and y'all want us to play Spit In My Mouth? Get this outta here you freaks.

Get rid of the AI training. We didn't sign up for that. At least give us the choice if we wish to be involved or not.

stop the AI push it's not going to work

Generative AI is inherently anti-creative, and implementing any form of generative AI into a platform entirely sustained by creative individuals is a sign that the platform does not care about the people who create on it.
Aside from the environmental, creative, and moral cost of generative AI, as an individual I use and create content on platforms significantly less when they implement generative AI features in any capacity, and this is the case for many others including many of the most hard-working and creative individuals on Twitch.
I urge Twitch as a platform to not implement generative AI features in any capacity, but barring that please do not push away those who make your platform what it is by training models off of their hard work.

Frankly I feel that any company that chooses to us AI at this point is either heartless or tone deaf. It's clear only the tech companies and billionaires are interested in AI at this point. That's like maybe 20 people by the way. And the rest of humanity says leave creation to the humans. I'd still make content on the platform if this feature was a thing you have to turn on, and everyone whether they are a partner, associate or a true newbie should get this option to turn things off.
